vladthebad Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 In leo: EVGA 8600GT, 256mb, dual DVI, dual monitors, plug, unplug, detect displays, rotation, resolution, QE, Ci, everything. Haven't tested dual DVI usage, but dual VGA (with converters) and DVI+VGA I do every day.

Asus Geforce 6600GT 256mb AGP, DVI+VGA (dual VGA, DVI+VGA, worked great in tiger. Haven't run AGP in leo yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friedymeister89 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Is that ASUS card 16x PCI Express or 1x PCI Express, because you wrote, "PCIe Lane Width: x1," and if it is 1x, I would very much like a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
